Every drop of sweat and every breath we take in life, if not taken for the sake of Allah, will lead to regret and sorrow on the Day of Judgment - Ibn Al-Qayyim
O God, the All Powerful! The Merciful! Do listen to my prayer. You're the best Destroyer. You've destroyed many nations, tribes, cities, planets, galaxies, cultures, and faiths in the world. There are some people whom You capture suddenly, while they are on their way to hell. But why don't You capture me and destroy me in the twinkling of an eye? Please, my Lord, do listen to me:
Destroy ... Right now ... Mercilessly ... And permanently ... Destroy ... Like an efficient destroyer ... Do destroy... my anger. Destroy ... ... my depression. Destroy ... ... my weakness.
O the Merciful Destroyer! Have Mercy upon me and destroy ... my ignorance ...and laziness ...and disappointment ...and errors ...and ungratefulness ...and pessimism.
My Lord! Destroy - within a second - my greed cowardice foolishness rudeness short-sightedness and poverty of all sorts - economic, psychological, and spiritual.
My Lord! If You don't destroy what's bad in me then I can't cherish in me what's good.
If You don't destroy what's good in me then I can't pursue what is called the
BETTER.
If You don't destroy my inability then my ability won't be complete.
If You don't destroy my transient ability, how can I learn to depend on You?
My Best Friend! When I sleep I flee from responsibilities and want to take rest. But do I expect that my heart also give up all responsibilities and take rest? Certainly not.
Therefore, do enable me to destroy the destructive things of life and save the Heart from pollution.
Let there be destruction everywhere - all over the world of my mind. and let me be caught - suddenly - in the snare of success and immense positive energy.
